The WT Society is Extreme for a reason.
by Giordano inmost of the following is fairly well known but with so many new ones on this site as well as non jws with questions about the culture and beliefs the following information may be useful.. the current gb's paranoia with 'apostates' or apostate-like behavior (like thinking independently) has it's roots in the early history of the wt society.
the truth of the matter is that the watchtower society has had a checkered history in retaining members and between 1909 to 1931 a number of groups broke away.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/history_of_jehovah%27s_witnesses.

Pick your belief system
by Giordano ini think we've all noticed a ton of newbe's these past months.
one part of escaping or thinking about escaping the jw's is coming to terms with what you believe now and/or what direction you are leaning towards.. here is a site that has a quick quiz that may be of some worth or just for fun.
i took it when i first signed on here and the results surprised me because it was pretty accurate.. you don't have to sign up for anything and when you finish you will get a percentage answer on 20 major belief systems.

A Christmas gift for everyone on this forum
by Giordano ini was thinking what to get you all for christmas this year to say thanks for all of the great thoughtful posts, for lending a helping hand to those who needed it, defending the community of ex witnesses when necessary and always sharing ideas and questions.. i looked for something that was a 'one size fits all' but also personal enough to put a smile on your faces, to ease your troubles and a gift you could share with others.. on a personal note i being of a more advanced age sometimes wake up with a little cloud over my head.
time is running out on our one precious moment on this planet and it's easy to get a bit 'under the weather especially around the holidays.. so the following may come at a good time......use it well and thoughtfully.. the address tells you what you will find but it doesn't tell you how funny and richly awarding it will prove to be.. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/21/sports/football/at-107-a-buffalo-bills-fan-who-sees-it-all.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=homepage&module=mini-mothion=top-stories-below&wt.nav=top-stories-below.

Comet sings mysterious song

as if to celebrate tomorrows landing of philae on the surface of comet 67p/churyumov-gerasimenko, the european rosetta mission has detected a mysterious signal coming from the 2.5 mile-wide lump of ice and rock.. but when recording signals in the 40-50 millihertz frequency range, the rpc stumbled on a surprise the comet was singing.. .
through some kind of interaction in the comets environment, 67ps weak magnetic field seems to be oscillating at low frequencies.
